Compared to purchasing a potted plant from a nursery, growing plants from seeds can be incredibly difficult, but the LumiLamp is hoping to make growing seedlings second nature. The small, 3D-printed device can house seeds and grow them up to a point where they can thrive in a regular pot, letting green thumbs experience the entire process of growing a plant more easily.
At just ten centimeters tall and with a diameter nearly half that, the LumiLamp is small enough to fit virtually anywhere in one's home. Thanks to its sleek white design and gently shaded lamp, its also aesthetically pleasing enough to fit in many rooms. The only physical restriction on the product is that its lamp needs to be plugged into an outlet — but that's a small price to pay for the chance to grow seedlings even in the middle of winter.
